You are correct. They didn’t have “pasture raised” defined back when I looked into all this, (which was quite a long time ago, im realising now since they added it in 2014). Let me add a disclaimer to my comment. Good to hear they are pushing the certification to higher levels.

https://www.foodandwine.com/are-vital-farms-eggs-ethical-8723788 They got sued for false advertisement and a rundown on food and wine tells the details but tldr: they didnt lose the lawsuit and the settlement with PETA was about conduct by the lawyers not the farmers. That said almost all egg farming cannot be particularly humane since it starts with putting all male chicks into a shredder alive.
Edit: they are “certified humane, pasture raised” which enforces minimum outside time and addresses a lot of the concerns that turned me off back when I stopped.
Old text that isn’t true for vital farms here:
!This brand is at minimum “certified humane”, which carries some actual requirements they must meet, which includes at least X square feet of outdoor space available to each chicken, which is a measurable thing. However, as the article points out, there’s no required amount of time the chickens spend there, so that space could be “available” to them in the same way that the grand canyon is “available” to all people in America. It might not be feasible to get there, and there’s no required minimum indoor space so it could be 100million chickens in a shed with a single doggy door that connects via tunnel to a cattle ranch next door. Technically available but designed to minimize use.
I used to pay the premium for these and… pete gerties(? I think) but learning how little was enforcably being done for how much extra i was paying made me jaded and i slowly phased eggs out of my home diet. Decide for yourself. Certified humane is better than not Certified humane, and almost all the rest of the labels mean nothing and are not checked or enforced by any third party.!<

3·1 month agoHilarious that a big name website would implement minimum image sizes, but a very valid use case then. Cause nothing is more frustrating than having your upload being rejected for some arbitrary size limitation that doesn’t match between sites

Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•I stopped telling ‘little white lies’ for two weeks. This is what I learned
13·2 months agoWow really leaning on that “mildly” interesting. The setup was long, lots of background which was great, but then just two examples and both were about external things (fantasy league and a book) that left it pretty unsatisfying. I’m sure the author tells a lot more white lies than that. And they either kept doing those lies without thinking about it, or missed an opportunity to talk about how the smallest lies add up. The “I’m good, you?”, “wow that sounds so cool”, “dinner was great” that sort of thing. The line between not saying and lying by omission could be explored. Lots of potential here

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Are drones in war just a one off. Like they drop one or two bombs and are done for? Or do they get flown back to the site to get rearmed and repeat? Asking in context about Russia Ukraine debacle
11·2 months agoA lot of the FPV (first person view) small drones from the video’s are 1-way, even the ones that are slightly more fancy with the dropping mechanism might not go back to base for rearm and instead get ditched in a third location for potential reuse later. This is because there is a risk of an enemy drone following your fpv drone home, giving away your location. This happened to the US in the middle east not long ago, I’ll update if I find a news article about it.
The video in the link has some really good shots from the side, it looks pretty thick, but this will be my first, so I’m not sure how thick is too thick.
He also says that they’re gonna email all the pre-orderers before with the finalized design and let you swap to the smaller one without losing your place in line, if that’s an alternative that might interest you.
Ya, I was thinking maybe a power outage/fridge failure cause a whole fridge worth to need to be tossed at once, but most pizza shops are gonna try to toss as little dough as possible.
